WE also use jes2ftp and second all that Jim mentions.  We put the pdfs
into a HFS and let the users view them through SMB.

YOu might look at a product called JES2FTP from www.casisoft.com which
does
take JES2 reports, converts them to PDF's and FTP's them off to a place
of
choosing. Back a while ago, I had a user requirement to post 300+
mainframe
DYL280 reports to widows web server. So they trained a windows person
to
download the reports (IND$FILE) to a PC manually convert them to a PDF,
and
manually FTP them to the windows machine. Two hours later, he was
barely
into it. The statistican asked us for a better way and we added a last
step
onto his batch job and he would create the reports and also do the
transfer. The kid went onto another PC project. I believe there is a
way to
run it outside of batch using some form of WRITER but I am not
postive.

They also have JES2Mail to attach them to an e-mail. There is just out
a "free" JES2Mail-Lite which replaces your z/OS SMTP process for
sending
out e-mails and makes the idea of attaching files far, far, easier than
one
would need to do using SMTP. I am told with the Lite client you can
get
support for a very small fee but is not necessary. Not to plug these
folks,
but the cost is reasonable and support is wonderful. Propose a new
feature
and it most often comes very quickly.
